I wasn't aware that there is a "DirectX Fullscreen" mode. What's the difference between that and setting a resolution by other means?

Have you tried messing with The Big Box object? That might move you in the right direction.

Bluewing might get you in the right direction, but don't expect an instant miracle. There are a ton of things you'll have to consider as you make progress.

Try collisions and overlaps have to act independently from the group you have them in. So, no collision or overlap with two Group.Bads.

From what I can see in the documentation, it doesn't pathfind on a Z-axis. :o

What I'm trying to grasp is if you're getting 60 FPS anywhere without the mouse present at all (on XB1). After all, that's what this thread is about.

As for the issue you're having, it sounds...

So, it's fixed?

Anyway, check for an abundance of overlap events. UWP doesn't like those that much.

Dobermann, do you have a bunch of overlap checks that are constantly running? That can bring UWP to its knees.

I won't be able to check until tomorrow at the earliest, but did you set it up for floating point numbers?

Doesn't Steam have an input wrapper now? DirectInput devices should work on XInput-only games.

Can't confirm this right now, but that would render Joystick2 obsolete as far as Steam releases go.

How are you full screening your game? Also, is your Steam app ID right?

Edit: Steam has to be running for the Steamworks object to work.

We have AdMob, Iron Source, and Chartboost for iOS and Android. We have FGL for HTML5, UWP, and Flash.

Is something like that possible for Windows? Maybe it's something that can happen down the...

It's because you have Start of Frame: Set Global Value A to 1 on your Intro Level and Melancholy Fight frames. It can and does go back to zero, but it's always set right back to 1.

I can at least confirm that the Xbox gamepad object works in a Windows EXE. Considering that desktop bridge would solve your problems if it works, it's definitely worth testing.

Have you tried doing the desktop bridge thing? This would give you the opportunity to use the key object. It's far more responsive than the default keyboard stuff.

D'oh. I looked at that thread while setting everything else up. It's been one of those days.

Everything works now. Thank you!

Just as the subject says. If I try to open an application with AdMob, I get the "application has stopped" error. Without the presence of AdMob, everything is okay.

I did not have this error with...

The frame rate issue is still there. It does not exceed 55 FPS without moving the virtual mouse once. I also see that WinJS hasn't been updated to 4.4.5.

You can use it for almost anything that involves adding or subtracting a number. ;)

As for PMO, my best guess is that you'd have to multiply the variables by the delta value when you need to, but...

Oh, sorry! ("Delta") is the object that I put the values in. Totally forgot to mention that.

You have to set those as alterable values or global values. Whichever you prefer. What you have to set those values to is outlined in my previous post. If the names are the same, you just copy and...

Delta time is used for frame rate independence. Say for example you're always adding 1 to a counter. At 60 FPS, you're adding that 60 times per second. At 30 FPS, you're adding that 30 times per...

I always aim for 60 FPS, but older devices might not get there. For older devices, having delta time is a huge help. It looks like frame skip, but it's way better than having all of the action slow...

Nice. Thanks for answering!

Are these core runtime optimizations going to be implemented in future 2.5 updates (obviously not DX11 or the nested events), or is 2.5+ going to be the focus? If...

I think posting some of your work will increase your chances of people contacting you.

Was it ever on the Clickstore? I had to get it directly from the site.

If the extension manager is right, Xbox Connect and Xbox Gamepad should work on the Windows runtime.

Castlevania Axe Example from nivram's site. http://castles-of-britain.com/mmfexamples-c.htm

What you're probably looking for is delta time. Best to make your own timer to fiddle with this.

As far as I know, there isn't really a catch-all extension for pausing. For the most flexibility, you have to go through and do it all through events. It's not terrible to work in.
